背经节(12分钟)
凡事都不私图好争,也不贪图虚荣,只要心思卑微,各人看别人比自己强。 -腓立比书 2:3
让孩子们围坐成一圈。叫一个孩子的名字,这个孩子站起来,走到另一个人面前,背诵这段经文。坐着的孩子然后说出经文出处。之后,第一个孩子回到自己的座位,第二个孩子走到另一个人面前,背诵经文。坐着的孩子说出经文出处,然后起身去找另一个孩子。继续下去,直到每个孩子都至少背诵过一次经文和出处。
故事与讨论(15分钟)
介绍:
八福的第二部分讲的是拥有属灵的品格,这一点可能一开始看似显而易见。人们很容易对有需要的人表现出善意。我们可以说成为基督徒自然而然地使我们单纯。我们也可以认为我们是和平缔造者,因为我们不喜欢战争,也没有敌人。但是,这接下来的三条八福到底教给我们什么样的属灵品格是神所喜悦的呢?
读 马太福音 5:7-9(接下来的三条八福)
讨论问题:
孩子们可能不知道这些问题的答案,但让他们先给出自己的回答,再以他们能理解的方式解释每一节经文的含义。
1.什么是怜悯,我们如何向别人展示怜悯?(通过表现出善意,帮助有需要的人,例如提供食物或钱)
2.除了衣服、食物和钱,人们还需要什么我们可以给予的?(耶稣的好消息)
3.我们如何做到清心呢?(通过诚实和坚守信仰。不仅仅是去教会和表现得单纯,而是在生活中遵守神的每一句话)
4.没有人是完全清心的,那我们如何能见到神呢?(我们可以通过耶稣见到神,因为祂洗净了我们的罪)
5.什么是制造和平的人,我们如何成为制造和平的人?(制造和平的人是不让愤怒、仇恨或苦涩破坏人与人之间关系的人。我们可以通过努力像耶稣那样,遵守和跟随祂的教导,成为和平缔造者)
课堂活动(12分钟)
应用(10分钟)
作为基督徒,我们必须具备属灵的品格,使我们很容易被认出是基督的信徒。
我们不仅仅向那些需要食物和衣服等物质帮助的人表现出怜悯和善意,还必须通过满足人们的属灵需求来表现怜悯和善意。将耶稣的好消息传递给那些不认识神的人。
如果我们用神的话语喂养我们的思想,而不是世界的杂物,清心就会变得容易。但这是一种内在的品质,而不是我们外表看起来如何。所以清理你的思想吧。
当我们像耶稣对待他人那样行事时,我们就成了制造和平的人。原谅他们,爱他们,享受他们的陪伴,因为我们都是神的创造物。但最重要的是,当我们将耶稣的爱介绍给别人,使他们也能拥有成为神的孩子所带来的平安时,我们就成了制造和平的人。
如果时间允许,让孩子们分享以下想法:
1.你认识谁需要耶稣进入他们的生命?
2.你本周可以清理什么样的思想?
3.如果有人告诉你他们不需要耶稣,你会怎么说?

一个小女孩可以展示耶稣的神奇力量吗?下周回来看看她是如何做到的。

THE BEATITUDES
LESSON 2: Spiritual Character
In this second of three lessons on the Beatitudes, the children will discover that spiritual character goes beyond just being Christians. It means we care about others even more than ourselves.
TOPICS
Beatitudes, Caring, Character, Reputation, Spiritual Growth

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves."Philippians 2:3 NIV
Have the children sit in a circle. Call out the name of one child to start. This child will stand up and walk over to someone else, and recite the verse. The child sitting will then say the reference. After that, the first child goes back to his or her seat, and the second child walks over to someone else and recites the verse. The child sitting says the reference, and then gets up and goes to another child. Continue until everyone is able to say the verse and reference at least once.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)
Introduction:
The second part of the Beatitudes talks about having spiritual character that may at first seem obvious. People can easily be kind to others who are in need. We can say that being a Christian automatically makes us holy and pure. We can also assume we are peacemakers because we don’t like war and don’t have enemies. But what do these next three beatitudes really teach us about spiritual character that is pleasing to God?
Read Matthew 5:7-9 (The next three Beatitudes)
Discussion Questions:
The children will not likely know the answers to these questions, but let them give their responses before explaining the meaning of each verse in a way they will understand.
1. What is mercy, and how do we show mercy to someone? (By showing kindness and helping someone in need, such as with food or money.)
2. Besides clothing, food and money, what else do people need that we can give? (The good news of Jesus.)
3. How can we be pure at heart? (By being honest and strong in our faith. Not just going to church and looking holy, but by obeying God’s every word in our life.)
4. No one is perfectly pure at heart, so then how can we see God? (We can see Him through Jesus, who washed our sins away.)
5. What is a peacemaker and how can we be peacemakers? (A peacemaker is someone who does not let anger, hate, or bitterness destroy relationships between people. We can be peacemakers by striving to be like Jesus, and by obeying and following His teachings.)
CLASS EXERCISE (12 minutes)

APPLICATION (10 minutes)
As Christians, we must have spiritual character that will easily identify us as believers in Christ.
We do not just show mercy and kindness to those who need physical things like food and clothing, but we must also show mercy and kindness by meeting people’s spiritual needs. Share the good news to those who do not know God.
Purity in heart comes easily if we feed our mind with God’s word, and not the junk of this world. But it’s an inside thing, not the way we look on the outside. So clean up your thoughts.
We become peacemakers when we act how Jesus did when He was with other people. Forgive them, love them and enjoy them, because we are all God’s creation. But most of all we are peacemakers when we introduce others to the love of Jesus, so they too can have the peace that comes from being one of God's children.
If time permits, have the children share the following thoughts:
1. Who do you know who needs Jesus in their life?
2. What thoughts could you clean up this week?
3. What would you say if someone came to you and said they didn't need Jesus?
NEXT WEEK
Can a little girl show the miraculous power of Jesus? Come back next week to find out how.
